Chase has a lot of great credit card offers, the problem is the dreaded 5/24 rule. One of the easiest ways to bypass this rule is by checking for pre-approvals in the branch. It’s widely known that these pre-approvals show up on Chase branded personal (e.g Chase Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Chase Sapphire Preferred & Chase Sapphire Reserve) & Chase branded business cards (e.g Chase Ink Preferred & Chase Ink Cash).
What a lot of people don’t see to realize is that in branch you can also be pre-approved for the Chase United MileagePlus Explorer (55,000 miles + $50 statement credit offer) Chase United MileagePlus Club (no sign up bonus). I wonder if you’re approved for the explorer if it’s possible to get matched to the better online offers of 70,000 miles + $50.
